JOKE: My boss put up a Notice:
Dress For The Job You Want, Not The Job You Have
so, I dressed as Batman.
lol. love this joke! ds seems to be a little faster today. yay! just started a book on the history of film - love the stuff on 30's and 40's movies. its good. didn't expect to go for it. same when i took the class jesus in film at penn, never expected it to be good, i've never been a movie person, for me its always music, bands and going out dancing, but that class was excellent.
this came up only because i was talking to jayce about all the trouble stu made while alive, for decades actually - glad i didn't know him most of that time. stu had had a paper from a child psychic that told him the name of the woman he would marry - she wrote it down for him. her name was brenda horn. the psychic didn't know the girl's original name. 30 years later he started dating brenda and showed her the prophecy in writing. he had saved it. so weird. the psychic told him he would never have children and he didn't and b told him that a psychic had told her the same thing about herself. no kids in her future. (the truth is b had custody of 3 kids and had bailed on adopting them. cold feet at the last minute, after spending a year with them, including the infant and naming him. her family was horrified when she did that. she said she had watched her brother and her friend juggle everything daily just to raise kids and she had no intention of living like that and she was glad she finally knew that for certain.)
stu was really into her - he had never considered himself very good looking, and b told him he was the best looking guy she had ever dated except for a lawyer named fredh who she dated in south florida - about tie, 20 years before that. b had full blown bi-polar with schizophrenia and it didn't even bother stu - the two of them kind of matched when they went out. it drove everyone else crazy and his family in the suburbs (mother and sister) was afraid of her. her father was a gambleraholic widower and the first thing he wanted to know after meeting stu, is if there was a track in phili near stu's house that they could go to and that he loved the proximity of phili to atlantic city. (people never change). their plan was to buy a duplex paid for by her father and her father's social security/pension/savings (mostly from her mother's job as a nurse, which her father collected from when his wife died. a nice surprise for him and everyone expected him to spend the last of his days using every penny of that money at the track) and after a house sale and paying other debts from his wife attacking people and stealing and his own gambling debts - stu and b would cook for her father as her father was old by then. stu would continue dealing pot in their half of the duplex, "unbeknownst" to her father - except none of stu's customers who hung at his house - who were mostly people who worked at the local colleges as professors or in the tech departments at universities wanted to hang out with her.
stu was the only one that would put up with her - she would enter a room and it was like a cyclone hit it, plus she takes things (steals) and lies all the time (though so does stu, but he claims he only acts like that when he is stoned, and he's stoned daily) - with b, its from the schizophrenia. they never continued with the plans and its odd that they met so late. stu said from day one b felt like family to him and she said the same about him, it matched. b already had cancer by then, but was still full of energy and acting crazy. stu liked that b and her family were all equal to or as crazy as he was, so he felt it was a perfect match. he was serious. everyone else was horrified.
what was super-strange was they both came from normal extended families with nice people - except for themselves. b's nickname was "delores", for delores claibourne (the main character in the stephen king novel) because she would stalk and rob people, especially popular people or celebrities that she was fixated with. a total nut. stu had done even worse things, and his lawyer had made a settlement with jayce and another guy after jayce's son and the other guy's daughter were attacked by stu. none of this bothered b. wth? stu said anything he came up with that he had done himself, generally b or her family had something worse going on anyway - stu had found the family for him.
who the hell thinks or lives like that? so strange. as far as i know jayce never received the settlement money, so it should have gone back to court (though his friend says he has it by now). he said the reason it was screwed up, was stu never left the row house that his mother sold to have the money to pay the settlements, and when she signed for a lien on the house it should have been her house in the suburbs with a lien on it. stu had the paperwork changed to a lien on the city house, so it couldn't be sold at all because he didn't want to move. it made no sense what he did, especially because of his "engagement" to b - complete with a diamond ring from some pawn shop and an announcement in 3 newspapers with their original college and high school portraits instead of a new one at their late age.
when i had heard stu was "engaged" i thought he was marrying his friend jack, who he always had a crush on - even though jack was straight. because stu was more gay than bi, and always went on and on about jack. jack was an average suburban guy, with a slight beer gut and a full head of sandy blonde hair, who loved animals and was younger than stu by over fifteen years. everyone cracked up when i said that, though more than one person said the same thing. him being engaged to b, never would have occurred to me in a thousand years. seriously. b died several months later and a few years after that stu died.
i told jayce, its absurd because stu was supposed to be prosecuted for similar crime against children (he always bullies other people, especially if he is stoned) 30 years before that and even as a child, if you talk to his mother - stu was bullying his older and younger sisters even as a little kid. b did the same to her older brother. it didn't bother her at all that stu was like that because she never understood what right and wrong was - her parents always paid people off if anyone was caught doing anything so she claimed there was no way for her to learn what was what. if anything, she thought committing crime was "normal" and working for anything was stupid.
so jayce says that even people in prison have relationships with other people who are equally deviant. what a weird world. he says what stopped stu is when b waved everything he said aside because her mother used to kill people in the hospital where she had worked for 45 years and her mother attending nursing school as a teenager just taught her mother more ways to kill people. wth?!! so unless he kills people for entertainment b's mother has him beat. she actually viewed it this way. jayce says stu said he would have liked to have met b's mother. what kind of answer is that? but b's mother was already dead by then.
so stu summed all this up as, he always liked the show the munsters a LOT and having b's family as family is his personal version of the munsters and his own family isn't. stu always had contempt for his own family growing up because everyone was so calm and balanced except for him and it drove him crazy.
so jayce says, criminals seek out other criminals. probably true. if the people around them aren't criminals they will victimize those people. b's father told stu, he liked anyone that could make his daughter smile and the rest didn't matter. so they liked each other as well. even stu was stunned. stu said to him, you knew what your wife and later on your daughter was doing all that time and did nothing about it? he says, what can i do, i brought my wife to the crazy house monthly, and that is the best i can do with it. he accepts it. the good with the bad. what a totally weird bunch.

stu would say, brenda is a beautiful girl.
hmmmm, brenda hadn\'t been a \"girl\" for many, many years AND as far as beautiful goes, she had beautiful, flawless skin. had stu not caused soooo much trouble by that time, people may have been happy for him but concerned, but he was already in so much trouble/evil that you felt like he didn\'t deserve anything good in his life at all. death row in a prison would have been more apropos. stu\'s view was his customers need to buy pot in a safe place, so they will keep coming back to buy it, even if he was \"evil\" which makes them just as bad as him.
